The phenomenon whereby the female gamete undergoes development to form new organisms without fertilisation in some organisms like rotifers, honeybees, some lizards and birds is called:

parthenogenesis

The correct answer is Option (2) -parthenogenesis

The correct term for the phenomenon described, whereby the female gamete undergoes development to form new organisms without fertilization in some organisms like rotifers, honeybees, some lizards, and birds, is: parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual. In this process, the female gamete (egg cell) undergoes development and embryonic growth without fertilization by a male gamete (sperm cell). Parthenogenesis can occur naturally in certain species, allowing females to produce offspring without mating with a male. It is observed in various organisms across different taxonomic groups, including invertebrates such as rotifers and insects, as well as vertebrates such as some reptiles and birds.
